Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 748 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Surprising though it seems, the world faces almost as great a threat today from arthropod-borne diseases as it did in the heady days of the 1950s when global eradication of such diseases by eliminating their vectors with synthetic insecticides, particularly DDT, seemed a real possibility. Malaria, for example, still causes tremendous morbidity and mortality throughout the world, especially in Africa. Knowledge of the biology of insect and arachnid disease vectors is arguably more important now than it has ever been. Biological research directed at the development of better methods of control becomes even more important in the light of the partial failure of many control schemes that are based on insecticide- although not all is gloom, since basic biological studies have contributed enormously to the outstanding success of international control programmes such as the vast Onchocerciasis Control Programme in West Africa. It is a sine qua non for proper understanding of the epidemiology and successful vector control of any human disease transmitted by an arthropod that all concerned with the problem - medical entomologist, parasitologist, field technician - have a good basic understanding of the arthropod's biology. Knowledge will be needed not only of its direct relationship to any parasite or pathogen that it transmits but also of its structure, its life history and its behaviour - in short, its natural history. Above all, it will be necessary to be sure that it is correctly identified.…

Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. HEAVY. xv, 723pp, index, bibliography, 50 bw photographs & 650 line drawings, 20 distribution maps, endpaper maps. Original pictorial laminated boards. Ex library with unobtrusive stamps (including cancelled), remnants of bookplate, barcode, and usual impedimentia. Otherwise an excellent example. Comprehensice introduction to insects and other arthropods that affect human health. The emphasis is on systematic aspects of medical entomology ie diagnostic features and biology of each medically related group and how the important families, genera and species can most easily be identified. The chapter on each group reviews diseases concerned and provides an outline of vector control. While focused toward postgraduate tropical medicine the book is also designed to be of use to field entomologists, research workers and librarians in bio-medical institutions whose work is primarily concerned with insect-borne human diseases.
